Online Safety: What is Grooming?

What is grooming, and how does it happen online?

Introducing the first of our new educational video series: child online safety!

Detective Steve Hunt, member of the Edmonton Police Service Child Protection Section and a former investigator for the Internet Child Exploitation unit of ALERT, walks us through the dangers of online grooming and how parents can help their kids be aware and safe online.  

To report child abuse, contact the Edmonton Police Service at 780-423-4567 or the Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-387-5437.
